I got frustrated the other day, just wondering why I've had the path of life I've had, rarely settled for long, the scenic route through school, lots of back and forth.....And God reminded me - Our purpose is to glorify Him. What can I say to that? Nothing really. That simply sentence pretty much wins any argument or complaint I can find.
So it may be that you're put in a place for a minute to glorify Him then He moves you somewhere else for another minute.
"Be still and know that I am God, I will be exalted among all the nations, I will be exalted among all the earth."
11/27/10: Angie Smith has written an incredible book, "I Will Carry You," telling her story of loss and the dance of grief, between joy and sorrow. These are just a couple of my thoughts from what I read today.
Doubts, fears-these are from Satan and I need to realize that because I trust the Lord, not because I'm super christian, but simply because I trust the Lord, that Satan is going to keep an eye on me. As I give in to him a little enough that my "light" doesn't shine too bright then he's done his job. I need to recognize his works and resist. He is fine with a lukewarm christian, they don't do too much damage against him.
The day Luke was born I remember looking at the window of room 9 in labor and delivery and thinking how odd it seemed that it looked like fall outside, it was so still, as though earth were standing still for this little boy as his parents met his little body but as he watched from heaven with his heavenly Father. Still.
Pg 183-184 Angie Smith - "for none but He could unite Joy and Sorrow."
